The killer here is poaching and loss of habitat, not trophy hunting. 3,700 trophy kills since 1985 2007 is quite small -- about 115 370 per year. Compare that to the almost 1,800 deaths per year due to other causes.

In addition, some trophy hunting is used to provide funds for conservation efforts. It literally pays people to stop destroying habitat and guard against poachers. Remove trophy hunting and those things -- the bigger killers -- may increase.

EDIT: numbers

Some people just like to kill shit. I never really understood the reason for shooting an animal that poses basically zero threat to you.

Take your facts and totally reasonable assessment of a complicated issue elsewhere! Hunting = bad ok, end of story.

I'd rather have all these animals go extinct than let one more rich American contribute to conservation efforts through their regulated hunting of animals segregated and sometimes bred distinctly for the purpose of hunting.

Edit: Jesus Christ, didn't realise i should have put an /s tag on this. There are some dumb fucking ppl in this thread. Point was its a complicated issue and hunting around the world DOES contribute to conservation efforts, both in breeding and in anti poaching programs. I am not a hunter, just someone who is able to understand both sides of an issue, unlike the frothing extremes displayed below. I highly recommend anyone who gives a shit and is interested in breaking their own confirmation bias look at both the video in the OP i replied to above, as well as the articles someone posted below regarding questionable effectiveness of hunting funded conservation efforts. It ain't simple people.

hunting for meat is cool (deer and such), trophy hunting is sick.
edit: I can't spell good, and stuff.

As a Turkish guy I can safely say that most Turkish people have no brains when it comes to politics. Like, not even politics it's just a basic election between "dictatorship" and not dictatorship". smh

These people seem to be under the impression that Erdogan cares about the opinion of the international community.

Can confirm, my parents love him.

That's because he talks in such a way that plays with their emotions. Your parents are not bad people, just gullible in a culture they've been brought up in.

EDIT Ok, just to settle things the young people are bad people but the older folk are more often are not and that's why I don't think they are bad people or people with bad intentions.

for example: My elderly dad didn't go to vote because he couldn't decide who is right or wrong. So, I didn't pressure him. He gets emotional when Erdogan gets on TV because of the way he talks but also likes Ataturk. Some of his friends try to convince him Erdogan is a bad person, some of his friends try to convince him Erdogan is a good person.

"The agency has now laid out just how parents are to destroy the doll. Parents are asked to fill out a destruction certificate that must be signed by a waste-management company and sent back to the agency for proof."

The doll gets a death certificate...

Parents are asked to fill out a destruction certificate

How amazingly German

I feel bad for the kids who've gotten attached to their dolls. :( "Sorry sweetie, the government says that Cayla has to die for her crimes against humanity."

"But we were gonna play on the swings, Mama!"

My mom is German. My dad is an American scoundrel. Dad would weasel his way ahead in lines and signal for us to join him. Mom would refuse. Was a very conflicted childhood.

As much as I believe it would piss of NK to do this its probably a bad idea. Using our capabilities unnecessarily allows countries like China, Russia, and NK to gather intelligence on our defensive missile capabilities every time they're used, and then try to find ways around them, they should really only be used when absolutely necessary.

None. Beating them isn't an issue. The issues are:

they've already stated that nuclear weapons WILL be used in the event that they're invaded

Seoul faces considerable artillery damage. There are conflicting estimates about how effective DPRK's border artillery would be against Seoul, but there is still that looming threat

It also helps to have a series of tests on variables that you cannot control like how these missiles are designed by China, North Korea, etc. It isn't always about revealing your hand. The US isn't revealing its hand with its cyberespionage against countries that it doesn't nesessarily agree with. Slowing down development of their missile technology, nuclear weapons, etc might buy more time to work out some deal with China and maybe prevent a war.

Then a war breaks out between the brainwashed people who loved Kim and the people who hated him.

It's strange that the chose that headline bc the first line of the story is:

The Hyderabad-based Bharat Biotech’s ‘killed Zika virus vaccine’ using an African strain has shown 100% efficacy against mortality and disease in animal studies, a study has shown.

Like you said, 100% efficiency (in economic terms) implies that they used the "socially optimum" amount of vaccines, which means that had they vaccinated a single more animal it would have cost them more than the benefit derived from that last vaccine, whereas effectiveness makes no assumptions about cost, and simply states that all animals were zika-free

Yeah I think the person who wrote the headline does not know the difference between efficacy and efficiency.

I'm actually a little impressed she has addressed this. This has been going on for some time and outside of TYT, I haven't heard many news sources covering it.

I personally believe it's very hypocritical to campaign against Russia for anti gay abuses yet ignore countries where being lgbt leads to death or life imprisonment by law like Saudi Arabia, India, and ect.

Wait, is TYT a reliable source?

Short answer: No.

It's so fucking weird that Pence ran a separate campaign as VP from Trump, and now the Ambassador to the UN is using that post to run her own "I've time-warped back to the George W Bush administration" 2020 presidential campaign from the office.
